Product details

Overview

VNP5N07FI from STMicroelectronics is a fully autoprotected high-side N-channel Power MOSFET in ISOWATT220 package, designed for DC–50 kHz switching in automotive and industrial load control. It features integrated linear current limitation (5 A typ), thermal shutdown (150 °C), 70 V drain-source clamp, and diagnostic feedback via input pin. Used in motor driver outputs, solenoid controls, and lighting modules where ruggedness against inductive kickback and fault detection are critical.

For engineers reviewing the VNP5N07FI datasheet, VNP5N07FI pinout, VNP5N07FI application, or VNP5N07FI equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical specs, protection behavior under overload/short-circuit conditions, thermal derating curves, real-world diagnostic signaling logic, and validated alternatives for high-side switching designs requiring self-protecting capability.

Technical Context

The VNP5N07FI integrates ST's VIPower M0 technology to embed protection circuitry directly into the power stage: an internal voltage clamp limits V_DS to 70 V during inductive turn-off, while a linear current limiter maintains I_D at 5 A (typ) regardless of input voltage. Its gate is directly accessible for analog driving, enabling precise current regulation without external controllers.

Fault detection operates through status feedback on the INPUT pin: during overtemperature shutdown, the pin is actively pulled to ground via ~100 Ω, providing unambiguous low-voltage fault indication. Protection thresholds-T_jsh = 150 °C, T_jrs = 135 °C, and I_LIM = 5 A-are independent of input voltage and guaranteed across –40 °C to 150 °C junction temperature range.

Key Specifications

Parameter	Value and Actual Design Meaning
R_DS(on)	200 mΩ max @ V_IN = 10 V, I_D = 2.5 A - enables low conduction loss in 12 V automotive loads up to ~5 A continuous.
I_LIM	5 A typical current limit - provides predictable, non-destructive overload handling without external sensing.
V_CLAMP	70 V drain-source clamp - absorbs inductive energy from 24 V systems with margin, eliminating need for external TVS.
T_jsh	150 °C thermal shutdown - triggers fast cutoff before silicon damage; auto-restarts at 135 °C for fail-safe recovery.
R_thj-case	5.2 °C/W (ISOWATT220) - supports 24 W continuous dissipation at T_c = 25 °C, suitable for bolted heatsink mounting.
I_gf	50 mA fault sink current - ensures robust low-state signaling on INPUT pin during thermal fault, compatible with 3.3 V/5 V microcontroller inputs.
E_AS	0.2 J single-pulse avalanche energy - validates safe operation under unclamped inductive switching stress (e.g., relay coils).

Pinout & Package

Package: ISOWATT220 (TO-220 variant with isolated tab). Thermally optimized for bolt-down heatsinking; metal tab is electrically connected to source terminal.

Pin/Terminal	Circuit Role	Design Meaning
1 (INPUT)	Gate control & fault feedback node	Accepts TTL/CMOS logic or analog voltage (0.8–18 V); sinks 50 mA during thermal fault to signal ground-level status.
2 (SOURCE)	Power return / reference node	Internally tied to metal tab; must be connected to system ground or low-side return path for proper protection operation.
3 (DRAIN)	High-side switched output	Connects to load (e.g., lamp, solenoid); clamped to 70 V during inductive flyback; handles 5 A limited current.

Key Features

Feature	Design Value
Linear current limitation	Maintains constant 5 A output regardless of V_IN or load impedance-enables predictable short-circuit response without current-sense resistors.
Integrated overvoltage clamp	70 V clamping threshold with rugged avalanche rating-replaces external TVS diodes in 24 V automotive circuits.
Diagnostic feedback via INPUT pin	Active-low fault signaling (≤0.5 V @ 50 mA sink) eliminates need for separate fault lines or ADC monitoring.
Direct gate access	Enables analog dimming or linear regulation by varying V_IN-supports PWM-free brightness/force control in lighting and actuator applications.
ESD protection	2 kV HBM rating-ensures robustness during board handling and connector mating in industrial environments.

Use Scenario: Controlling 24 V DC solenoids in PLC I/O modules, packaging machinery, or valve manifolds.

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Ruggedized high-side driver with fast (<20 µs) current-limit step response-prevents coil burnout during jammed or stalled conditions.

Use Value: Sustains 5 A peak indefinitely under short-circuit while signaling fault via INPUT pin, enabling immediate controller intervention without hardware redesign.

LED Headlamp Dimming

Truck Trailer Lighting Interface

Use Scenario: Analog-dimming high-power LED arrays in commercial vehicle headlamps using variable V_IN control.

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Linear-mode adjustable current source-leverages direct gate access to modulate I_D smoothly from 0 to 5 A.

Use Value: Achieves flicker-free dimming without PWM frequency artifacts; avoids EMI issues associated with high-frequency switching in safety-critical lighting.

Use Scenario: Switching trailer brake/tail lamps in heavy-duty truck towing systems exposed to load dump (ISO 7637-2 Pulse 5a).

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Clamp-protected high-side driver-absorbs 70 V transients without failure, maintaining lamp function during alternator load dump events.

Equivalent & Alternatives

The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-side protected switch applications.

Alternative Part	Technical Difference	Application Difference	Selection Advice
STVN7012F	Lower R_DS(on) (120 mΩ), higher I_LIM (12 A), SO-8 package - no isolation, lower thermal capacity.	Best for PCB-space-constrained 5–10 A loads with active cooling; unsuitable for bolted heatsink mounting or >70 °C ambient.	Select when footprint and cost outweigh thermal performance; verify heatsink compatibility for sustained 12 A operation.
IPS1025H	Higher V_CLAMP (100 V), same 5 A I_LIM, DSO-20 package - includes SPI diagnostics and configurable blanking time.	Preferred for smart power distribution units requiring digital fault logging and programmable protection timing.	Choose when system-level diagnostics, configurability, or 100 V clamp margin are required-accepts trade-off in package size and cost.

Compared with VNP5N07FI, STVN7012F offers higher current capability in smaller form factor but lacks isolated heatsinking and requires external thermal management; IPS1025H adds digital intelligence and wider voltage margin at the expense of analog simplicity and ISOWATT220 mechanical robustness.

FAQ

What is the maximum continuous current VNP5N07FI can deliver in free-air conditions?

VNP5N07FI delivers up to 5 A continuously only when mounted on a heatsink that maintains case temperature ≤25 °C. In free-air (no heatsink), its thermal resistance is 62.5 °C/W, limiting practical continuous current to ~1.2 A at 25 °C ambient-verified by derating curve Figure 12 in the datasheet and confirmed by R_thj-amb = 62.5 °C/W and P_tot = 24 W max.

How does the INPUT pin provide diagnostic feedback during a fault?

During overtemperature shutdown, the internal protection circuit disconnects the INPUT pin from the gate and connects it to ground through a ~100 Ω resistor. This pulls the pin to ≤0.5 V while sinking 50 mA, providing a clean, low-impedance logic-low signal detectable by any microcontroller GPIO-even without pull-up resistors-enabling immediate software fault response.

Can VNP5N07FI drive inductive loads without external flyback diodes?

No. While VNP5N07FI includes a 70 V drain-source clamp for transient suppression, it does not replace the need for an external freewheeling diode across inductive loads. The internal clamp handles brief energy spikes (e.g., during turn-off), but sustained flyback current must be routed externally to prevent overheating and ensure reliable commutation.

Is VNP5N07FI pin-compatible with other OMNIFET II devices in ISOWATT220 package?

No. VNP5N07FI has a unique 3-pin ISOWATT220 pinout (INPUT-SOURCE-DRAIN) and is not pin-compatible with other OMNIFET II variants like VNP10N07 (dual-channel) or VNP20N07 (higher current). Pin mapping and thermal pad connection differ across the family-mechanical drawings in Tables 12 and Figures 32 confirm exclusive layout for this part number.
